TLDR
In this article, a review of tree physiological responses to key environmental stress factors and their combinations are analyzed from seedlings to mature trees, concluding that combined stresses can influence survival of large trees even more than chronic exposure to a single predictable stress such as drought.

Chapter 12 - Long-term climate change: Projections, commitments and irreversibility

TL;DR: The authors assesses long-term projections of climate change for the end of the 21st century and beyond, where the forced signal depends on the scenario and is typically larger than the internal variability of the climate system.

The interaction of plant biotic and abiotic stresses: from genes to the field

TL;DR: This review aims to characterize the interaction between biotic and abiotic stress responses at a molecular level, focusing on regulatory mechanisms important to both pathways.

The roles of hydraulic and carbon stress in a widespread climate-induced forest die-off

TL;DR: A direct and in situ study of the mechanisms underlying recent widespread and climate-induced trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forest mortality in western North America and finds substantial evidence of hydraulic failure of roots and branches linked to landscape patterns of canopy and root mortality in this species.

Drought-tolerance of wheat improved by rhizosphere bacteria from harsh environments: enhanced biomass production and reduced emissions of stress volatiles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a feasible alternative strategy by application of rhizospheric bacteria coevolved with plant roots in harsh environments over millions of years, and harboring adaptive traits improving plant fitness under biotic and abiotic stresses.

Drought acclimation of two deciduous tree species of different layers in a temperate forest canopy

TL;DR: The water use of the species of the lower canopy layer of Populus tremula and Tilia cordata is more conservative than that of the Species of the overstorey, P. tremula, and the role of abscisic acid in these strategies was concluded.

Light attenuation in a 14-year-old loblolly pine stand as influenced by fertilization and irrigation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined empirical and simulated estimates of canopy light attenuation at SETRES (Southeast Tree Research and Education Site), a 2×2 factorial study of water and nutrients.

The effects of fertilization and thinning on wood quality of a 24-year-old Douglas-fir stand

TL;DR: Fertilization reduced ring density at breast height and 25% stem height by an average of 16% for a 3- to 4-year period after treatment, but not thereafter, and thinning resulted in a slight ring-density gain in the...

Differential response of aspen and birch trees to heat stress under elevated carbon dioxide

TL;DR: The results indicate that isoprene-emitting trees may have a competitive advantage over non-isoprene emitting ones as temperatures rise, indicating that biological diversity may be affected in some ecosystems because of heat tolerance mechanisms.
